Love REAL Essentials Starting Point

REAL Essentials Starting Point Lessons are valuable and relevant to our middle school students. We have enjoyed engaging in the interactive games and reflections together as a class. The lessons provide us with opportunity for powerful, memorable discussion. If the curriculum had some more media/video content that would improve my ratings.

We are about to launch our Relationship Education “course” in our middle school (grades 6-8) and are extremely excited about the next few months. Having gone through the training, our staff feels well-equipped to start “getting REAL” with students about areas that we have previously shied away from in the past. The training is FABULOUS and Joneen and Lauren were incredibly informative, engaging, and helpful in making this View More launch possible for our launch in grades 6-8. We have started gathering parent permission slips and are getting very positive feedback from parents who are glad to see that we are going to be partnering with them in this important area of their children’s lives. They are also excited to be included in the launch, as Lauren will introduce the program at a special parent session at the end of this month. Can’t say enough about the training, the curriculum, and what we hope is only the beginning of a long relationship with the Center for Relationship Education. Looking forward to writing another review in a few months as we watch our students reap the benefits of this program. View Less
